Condemnation as masked men fire shot at house in Derry
"There can be absolutely no justification for the firing of a shot in a built up residential area of our city."
The Chair of the Derry and Strabane Policing and Community Safety Partnership, Alderman Darren Guy, has condemned last night's shooting at Culdaff Gardens in the Creggan area of the city.
Speaking after the incident, Alderman Guy stated: "These ongoing attacks are totally unacceptable in our society and must be condemned by all of us.
"The people of this city and district are shocked and disgusted at these continued incidents.
"There can be absolutely no justification for the firing of a shot in a built up residential area of our city.
"It is clear that those responsible have absolutely no concern for people living in Creggan nor do they represent the interests of the people living there.
"This shooting took place just hours after hundreds of people attended the switch on of the Christmas lights in our city centre and the negative actions of a few stand in stark contrast to those who continue to positively promote our city and district.
"My thoughts are with the people living in the area who have had to endure this pointless action.
"I would urge anyone with information on this attack to contact the PSNI or Crimestoppers immediately."
